in the war, but gives best efforts as a medic. Talks to everybody.
Smart... technically oriented... usually thinking or tinkering in spare
time. As fox, is small, swift, has concussion rocket launcher with

Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: RECON/ SCOUTING
Rank: 3/ Field Officer - Sky Lynx's Lapdog -- Throttlebot
"Loyalty is everything, but the thrill is in the hunt."
Like the wolves he sometimes resembles, Kebal is a pack animal. He will
be forever loyal to the Autobots. He likes to run free, when the
opportunity arises. He also is known for rushing into situations without thinking. He wields an Energon Axe when in Robot form, and can Eviscerate a foe with his powerful claws in Wolf mode. In Wolf mode, he
can reach speeds up to 60 mph on open ground.
Double-Take
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: TACTICIAN
Rank: 2/ Squad Leader - Medical Staff - Iacon - Junkion Liaison
"You can lead, follow, or get out of the way. I mine the path!"
DOUBLE-TAKE saw his best friend die horribly in a Decepticon attack, and
decided then to fight until the end against them. Hates extreme
pessimism and optimism. Idolizes Optimus Prime as a symbol of courage and wisdom, aspires to that ideal... out to avenge all fallen Autobots'
deaths. Interested in science and computers, always seeks to learn new
things. Slightly backward socially. Specializes in planning, setting, and executing traps. Transforms into a Cyberplane.
Processor
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: COMPUTER OPERATIONS
Rank: 2/ Squad Leader - Research - Autobot City
"It's all in the data; the more you have, the better off you are!"
Will try and get all the information he can on any subject - from Decepticon strategic movements to fly fishing. Gathers information from
any and all sources, goes over it time and time again until he forms a
hypothesis, then goes over it again several more times. Will give the information to the proper Autobot and let them take action on it; however, he is
slow at giving the information out, and sometimes it could be five days after it was needed before he's finished processing. Processor is forced to communicate via his monitor
in his mainframe mode.
Viper
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: MEDIC/ FIELD TECH
Rank: 2/ Squad Leader - MSE - Iacon
"Hold still! You're not dying on MY shift, dammit!"
Viper's original function was to be a warrior; however, it became clear
that his talents were toward repairing and not destroying. He now serves
as Combat Medic and field technician. Even though his skills and abilities make him well suited as a medic, Viper is plagued by self-doubt because he never succeeded as a warrior. Transforms into Viper
sportscar, with the ability to launch rockets.

Aquanaut
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: UNDERWATER RESEARCH/ CONSTRUCTION
Rank: 1/ Support - Autobot City Dock
"The best defense is built on a solid understanding of the environment."
Aquanaut is often found in the shallow parts of the ocean, performing research or building one thing or another. He has a great respect for
all life, and is normally very outgoing and friendly. He stands an
impressive 24 feet tall in his robot mode, and is capable of operations both on and under water, but is relatively lightly armed, carrying only
a sonic blaster pistol. His other mode, a Research and Construction platform, towers 50 feet above the ground, and acts as both a
construction facility and a research lab. Aquanaut's main weakness is
that he's relatively slow. His platform mode is immobile, and his robot mode isn't really much faster.
Caterwaul
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: MORALE/ INTERROGATION
Rank: 1/ Support - Iacon
Quote: "Helloos, wants to be friends?"
Highly intelligent... well-defined self-preservation streak. Won't fight unless cornered. Acts cute to put others off guard. Possesses strong
empathic detection abilities, able to read the emotions of others. As lynx, runs 150 MPH, side-mounted sonic projectors fire bolts of concentrated sound. Hopes one day to make everyone his friend... he's
less likely to get blasted that way.
Daredevil
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: RECONNAISSANCE
Rank: 1/ Support - Security - Autobot City
"The greater the danger, the bigger the thrill."
An utterly fearless action junkie. Wide-eyed, unflaggingly good-natured, enthusiastic, and somewhat scatterbrained. Compulsive stunt driver and
flyer, also enamored of Terran "extreme" sporting activities. Transforms into a rugged all-terrain dunebuggy with an additional hover conversion
option, top speed 110 mph on land, 500 mph in air. Armed with laser gun
in robot mode. Tends to become hyperactive when too excited. Prone to
exhausting his energon supply, sometimes injures himself while involved in dangerous pasttimes.
Obsidian
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: STRATEGIST
Rank: 1/ Support - Command - Autobot City
"There is a great plan behind every great victory."
Full of optimism for the future, Obsidian is devoted to the Autobot
cause. Youthful and enthusiastic, but an accomplished warrior and thinker. A bright strategist who enjoys formulating plans and strategies. Studies Terran history and culture; considers Autobot relations with the Terrans a major asset. Armed with electricity gun in robot
mode; uses claws, teeth, and hip-mounted rocket launchers in panther mode. Swift, possesses exceptional targeting and weapons systems.
Horrible with electronics (dangerous might be a better word), which can
inhibit him in certain situations.
Reflex
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: TROUBLESHOOTER
Rank: 1/ Support - MSE - Iacon
"Nobody wins a war -- you just try to minimize losses."
Reflex is curious, funny, and thoughtful. A warrior whose agility has kept him alive since the start of the current war. Takes everything in
stride, but sometimes doubts himself. Sometimes a bit too introspective, but generally gets the job done. Rarely does this tough Autobot hold a
grudge. The perfect iceman, his circuits hardly ever spark. Efficiently does his job with the various skills of many trades. His biggest weakness is that when the world truly is crashing down, he loses his
determination. Often affects morale of others when this happens. Carries an electromagnetic railgun in robot mode. In truck mode, travels at
speeds of 100 mph, and with an extreme range.
Scamper
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: PERIMETER SECURITY
Rank: 1/ Support - Security - Autobot City
"You have to look over your shoulder, even when it's against the wall."
Never takes anything for granted. Calm and cheerful. Knows when to joke
and when not to... always serious about security... often outside
Metroplex doing perimeter checks. Ultra Magnus thinks of him as a valued member of the staff. Scamper is almost always at the city and on duty. Skilled at planning and executing tactics devised to keep Metroplex
safe. In robot mode, carries a high-energy particle beam pistol... in Vintage Aston Martin V8
mode has two side mounted electro-blasters and drives at 160 mph. Courage evaporates when not backed up by the power of Metroplex.
Solace
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: MILITARY COUNSELOR
1/ Support - MSE - Iacon
"Every action is motivated by a thought; every thought by an action."
Solace is the ear of Iacon. Always willing to listen to a fellow
Autobot, he oftens peppers his advice with doses of military know-how, and never ever cuts corners or sugar-coats his responses. A military man
through and through, Solace believes only in the structure and morale of
the unit and believes that one bad link can bring it down. For this reason he often offers advice and encouragement - whether it's wanted or
not - to Autobots who might be going into battle, or soldiers who have been having a tough time lately. Armed only with a small taser and a
electrical impulse gun in his robot form, he is less comfortable in the front-line combat and more suited for the War Room. His alt mode, a 1999
Ford Probe, can reach speeds along ground of almost 150 mph.
Steelshot
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: Sharpshooter
Rank: 1/ Support - Security - Iacon
"Preparation is the harbinger to success."
STEELSHOT is a quiet, cold, deadly sharpshooter who joined the Autobots after his home was destroyed by the Decepticons. Strongly believes in research and preparation before going into battle so that he
can uncover his enemies' weaknesses. In robot mode, he possesses a heat-seeking missile launcher and an energy rifle capable of discharging various types of energy from electrical volts to laser beams to
whirlwind cyclones. Transforms into a speedy hovercar capable of speeds up to 300 mph. Meticulous patience in aiming at his opponent leaves him
an easy target.
Thunder
Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: MEDICAL TRANSPORT
Rank: 1/ Support - MSE - Autobot City
"In the end, the ultimate weapon will be knowledge."
Though most think THUNDER keeps to himself for lack of personality, it is really because he is usually deep into a book. Driven by his unyielding quest for knowledge; hopes that by studying he will not make the mistakes of those from the past. In robot mode, he carries a propeller which he wields as a sword, but lacks actual battle experience. In helicopter mode, is capable of flying up to 120 mph, has mounted weapon that fires burst of electricity. Though he does feel that he is growing intellectually, he knows that he has a lot to learn, and this often leads to frustration. Thunder cares very deeply for the Autobots and their cause and hopes one day they will write stories about him.

Species: Transformer
Faction: Autobot
Function: DEMOLITIONS/ COVERT OPS
Rank: 1/ Support - MSE/ Special Ops. - Throttlebot HQ.
"The bigger they are, the larger the bomb needed!"
Tripwire is a demolitions expert. He has the ability to wire up or defuse a wide variety of explosives, ranging from a hand grenade to a
nuclear warhead. His skills at sneaking about and breaking and entering come in handy for specialized missions. In robot mode, he carries a
blast rifle for defense. In HMMV mode, he makes a speedy escape, covering his exit with his gun turret. Though he tends to be hot-headed at times, and has a lack of seriousness towards danger, he remains loyal
to the Autobot cause and a worthy ally.
